Google'S Corporate Culture

Past

Office area sofa can be seen everywhere, employees can drink coffee and chat at will, and even can not tell where the office area is and where is the leisure area.

"Every office in our country has a unique name, such as" autumn autumn "and" autumn equinox ", which are our employees' own creativity.

The working mode of Google is to equal and listen to the voice of every employee. I like to govern in this way.

Although Google is pursuing "localization" as well as many other multinational companies, Li Kaifu has been carrying out the "Americanized" management mode in the corporate culture.

The reporter learned from Google employees that in other companies, in order to cope with the boss's "boss key" that he found himself out of business, it is useless in Google China, because they do not have to worry about being discovered by the boss, and are not worried about being criticized.

In the past more than 10 years, Google's spending speed has been a miracle in Silicon Valley.

For employees, Google has a more comprehensive welfare system, including free meals, free medical care, ski tourism and laundry services. It also provides subsidies for individual training of employees.

In addition, Google also allows engineers to spend 20% of their working time on projects they like, in order to encourage employees to develop new products to reduce their excessive dependence on Internet search advertising business.

No wonder many visitors to Google China can see some employees playing "blatantly" at work time.

The intention is good, but the question is, how can the company ensure that the employees can grasp the 20% free time?

In fact, the proportion of free time is not important.

Behind the Google 20% free time system, there is a more important principle that we trust employees.

We delegate power to employees and do not really measure this 20%. We feel that employees will adjust themselves.

For example, if employees feel that a program they are doing is very important, then he can only do this procedure this month; if employees feel that the task of the company is more important to him, then he may spend three months to do it, and he will not touch the 20%. at all. "Li Kaifu told reporters that, in addition to the arrangement of the company, many employees can also produce additional new products that are unexpected to the company.

Among them, most of the small creativity comes from that 20% free time, such as Gmail, Google NEWS and other products.

"You can question that the return of this system is only 10% or 20%, or even 30%, which I can not give a definite answer.

However, we can not measure it by numbers. The system represents a free style of the company, and it is also a way to attract people.

Sergei, the founder of Google.

Brin once said, "our company's creativity is our employees.

If we encounter bottlenecks in the future, it must be that we have not been able to hire the smartest and most capable employees at a fast enough speed.

Therefore, we must be responsible for the employees, so that they can stay in the company for a long time and serve the company.
